(q phase & ben sims remixes) the original splanetary funk 12s by p.a.s. dates back to the early 1990s. the 21st century re-activation of the planetary funk moniker isnt a nostalgic look backwards so much as an expansion of its original mission.

h-productions proudly presents >green light< by cari lekebusch. this is the fourth release in the full color spectrum serie, that is aiming to result in 9 different colored vinyl 12inch. both tracks are maintaining a stripped down policy, solid sound pictures and simple arrangements - with no unnecessary elements, breaks or changes. thus giving the dj more freedom to play around during the blending. and the sound pictures have intentionally been tuned while having the various h-productions releases in mind, that came out around 1993-1997. since the beginning of the 1990s, caris brainchild label platform h-productions has been changing and re-inventing itself numerous times. and at this moment it takes the shape of 3 different catalog numbers running at the same time. the hyb releases will be exclusive vinyl releases only, and the hpx numbers will be digital only. as a cherry ontop we have the special hybrid catalog that will only be found in our bandcamp online shop. -with warm regards from stockholm-

for the 5th installment in the prrukwht series, spanish hardware icon eduardo de la calle returns to planet rhythm with his adept to the light ep. tr3b conspiracy serves as the opener which combines odd rhythmic arps and subtly placed drum sequences to make a somewhat uncanny atmosphere. on the b side we find ranchor will cut the mood which is a repetitive techno cut that should be useful for after hours. the doubt of the unknown (b2) has a somewhat foreboding title. it’s a fx heavy synth jam that uses oddball synthesis and nicely placed fx chains that evolve throughout.

the light is the first taste of the weird world created by american vocalist craig louis higgins jr. and french composer marc nguyen tan.

good things come to those who wait. the long-anticipated land of light debut, a masterpiece of an album and pillar of the esp institute, was unveiled in late 2012, slowly followed by the gorgeous remixed ii. since then, many have longed for the missing first half of this two-part package, the universe is kind and has finally delivered remixed i. on side a, kuniyuki takahashi (mastering engineer behind seminal esp releases, and legend in his own right) took the bull by the horns remixing flares—a piece of music so entrenched in melancholy, with such fluid performance and production, its hard to imagine anyone taking it deeper—he has unarguably triumphed. on side b, esp institute veterans tambien rose to the same challenge with flares, the bavarians taking a refreshing uptempo approach, a contrast to the swells of guitar and synth. closing the release is the seahawks blissful re-imagination of bell rock outpost, slowly and steadily setting sail into a dusky vision of the scottish lighthouse after which the song was named.

one of the most charismatic and respected djs in poland, eltron (aka eltron john) presents what is probably the most expressely club-oriented record in transatlantyk history. his four track offering sounds much like his sets - ferocious and subtle, raw and sophisticated at the same time. the main mix of b&s blends druggy deepness inspired by the vibe of 90s tribal america with uk funky riddims, creating the sort of pneumatic house groove that never fails to get the party rocking. this simple, yet meticulously produced tune has already been road-tested and received enthusiastic feedback from a number of jocks around europe, and the vinyl version seems destined to strengthen its deserved banger-with-a-message status. the dub version of fuses layers of darker, industrial bleeps with a classic break and a rather healthy dose of echo. trippy and rough, yet exhilarating - it is exactly the kind of track you want to hear in a dark warehouse. switch to the b-side for the light , where sampled vocals, pitched-down drums and fuzzy pads are combined to form a unique specimen of lo-fi r n b, eltron-style. this hazy groove is guaranteed to guide dancers ever-so-gently into the light of the morning. finally, reprise exposes the bare bones of the original. with its dubby, in-your-face quality, it is one for the track heads, definitely.

music for dreams release their second 12 inch this year from danish duo visti & meyland. continuing their current passion for writing real songs, visti & meyland are back with a larger than life anthem of love, melancholy and thoughtfulness. ‘sharing the light’ has a dreamy vibe in the verses and hits back hard with a bobby womack-esque chorus with meyland s jekyll and hyde vocals. carried by a 70 s drumbeat, a hypnotic electric bass line, and an out-of-tune piano, this track has a strong emotional, warm and star-gazing feel to it, though still maintaining the heavy, rock-solid grooviness that the danish duo are known for. on remix duties payfone calls the shots and demonstrates his power turning the track into a modern paradise garage-inspired dj tool. ‘girls on camera’ is the second track and a sure fire balearic club monster combining -e2e4- style arpeggios with french kiss style stabs making this package essential for any collector of open minded balearic sounds.

oh, the terror. lestasi delloro delves deeper into new yorks gritty shades of techno. returning after 2014s super-bold iscariotic lips, this new ep for macro enforces his signature clashing of disparate ends within the same, driving beat. the a sides pyrrhic mundi is endless drama, stages after stages towards eliminating mind/body separation. the b side holds percussive structure rubbed against edgy metallic sound first with every light is blue, and then unfolds into ultimate basement club action in sky unknown. heavy low end maintained throughout.

ltd nice price ...a self-confessed fascination with 80s music and film scores from the same era..george thompson has an ability to approach music with a strong visual aesthetic which is a common theme in his work, first apparent in his role as part of the duo spectral empire, alongside kyle martin.

sold out! what happens when scales and patterns of contradicting emotional imprints combine? when light and darkness, bitter and sweet, frost and blaze collide? those are the questions that johannes heil chooses to address on his upcoming album, opening up a vast grey-scaled area for the listener to traverse with techno as a blindfold. <black light> sees the german techno mainstay return to the album format for an intimate ten track odyssey of close-curtained introspection. heil chooses the words of fellow futurist nikola tesla to set the stage of the black light story: >black is the true face of light, only we do not see this<. track names are dropped in favor of a chronology of scenes, better adapted to the seemingly polar opposition of the forces that the figure and cocoon regular conjures throughout the album. everything that we perceive is processed and set into relation with past memories, digested emotions and iron-branded impressions. battling the current, johannes heil chooses to challenge certitudes by forcing us out of our comfort zones into the absence of light. if the pictures painted on >black light< are dark, they are also far from monochromatic. the machine-driven sonic prism acts both as the heavy cloud and the burst of light that shoots through to guide us. its the aggressor and the victim, the clenched teeth and the jubilant, the paranoia and the sanity of the mind. its pure heads-down driving techno with volumes of grandiose. provoking our senses, extending his art onto our personal canvases, the exile boss gives the listener the freedom to interpret the emotional context of each piece, to write the scripts of the individual scenes. the impression that >black light< leaves upon first listen testifies that 20 years down the road, johannes heil shows no sign of slowing down.

great insight into japanese pop music!

right here brown delivers an ep thats variously fulsome and funky, skipping yet seriously weighty and tripped out and intergalactic, whilst the antigone remix is full of nerve jangling texture and drum driven brut force.

we find it slightly hard to believe that it s been three years since blocks and escher launched narratives music with their explorative *sagan / broken* 12-inch. unafraid to stray from its drum & bass roots, the label has since become synonymous with encapsulating, poignant, cutting-edge music. favouring quality over quantity, blocks and escher have kept the narratives release schedule sparse, only now hitting the big 1-0. along with the founders, only overlook, asc, loxy & resound and rhyming in fives have had their names tied to the label, and it s the latter who returns now for the tenth release.
first surfacing in 2013 with the hindsight ep, rhyming in fives remains enigmatic to say the least. little to nothing is known about the producer, and aside from a free download that dropped last week via mixmag, the new 4-track light leaks ep is only the second offering ever from the mysterious musician.
